This doesn't work if the alias contains multiple recipients. For
example, if I have
a: a, a@domain,
a+foo gets expanded to "a,a@domain+foo" which is then in turn
delivered to a (without taking the suffix into account) and to
a@domain+foo, which is, of course, undeliverable.

Took me a month to figure that out ;)
